*phew* Finally got this done! Iíve been wanting to do my version of a humanized Mane Six for a while, so I hope you like.

I had been debating whether or not to keep their respective horns and wings, and finally decided against it. Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy would look fine with wings, but I thought giving human!Twilight and Rarity unicorn horns would look odd. Plus, that would take away from the whole thing of them being human.

So is this the part where I'm suppose to criticize the decision of Rarity being black (which I actually find funny now that I think about it)Or is this the part where I'm suppose to criticize those who criticize your decision?

None to sure about your choice to give Rarity a um....dark skin tone, but everyone else makes her skin tan. There are many things in this world about the Mane 6 that people just feel they need to change.

You know, that is just other artists styles. But this is her style. Just because Rarity is white in the show, doesn't mean she needs to be white here. It's simply this artists style. If you criticize her style, you criticize the artist. Thank you for reading, and sorry to bother you.

I’m not sure what “everyone else” you’re talking about here, because I’ve seen her - and the other characters - get interpreted as lots of different races. I’ve discussed my decision to make her black over and over again here, so feel free to read some of my comments above. (And really, I shouldn't even HAVE to defend myself in the first place.)

Also, the remark “there are many things in this world about the Mane 6 that people just feel they need to change” is just disturbing as hell. Last I checked, there IS no canon human race for any of the ponies. (Unless you want to count the movie, which came out WAY after I drew this.) So just what exactly am I “changing” here? The fact that her skin color doesn’t match the color of her coat in the cartoon? So by that logic, you should also be harping on the fact that Twilight isn’t purple, Rainbow Dash isn’t blue, etc. But ooohhh nooo, the thing that’s over the line for you is the fact that there’s a black character here. Gee, wonder why.

Hey Hey, did I accuse you of anything? I don't think so. And by everyone else I mean, everyone who has made art of the human Mane Six. Also, what I meant by many things in this world about the Mane 6 that people just feel they need to change is that my experience seeing art of homo pony art which really affends me when they all clearly are girls, but you're right, there really is no canon human race for the ponies. I'm not telling you to change anything, and lol you've got that whole thing wrong, I never meant their real color of white, pink, yellow and all that. And I apoligize if you already explained why, for me I don't see that anywhere on the page.

Crap man, all this grief because your head canon is different from most?! They're ponies, not humans. So our head canons can be whatever we like them to be. Now I see why the movie had them with their fur color skin then their own!

I love the interaction. Rainbow would totally mess with Rarity's hair just to get her riled up. And Fluttershy would be horrified that it might start an argument, while Twilight looks over disapprovingly and Pinkie completely ignores her surroundings to break the fourth wall. The only thing is that I think AppleJack would be amused (though hiding it.)Other than that, I really enjoy this pic.

Rarity with dark skin is an interesting look, not one I've seen before. I think it's a great idea though, as her colours really pop out against the skintone.Absolutely wonderful job!

Dashie, leave Rarity alone... Everyone looks awesome, I love how you incorporated their cutie marks (though I can't find Dash's...) Amazing anatomy, love how Pinkie's a little fat (I wonder how much of her paycheck at Suparcube Corner is spent right there?)

Oh wow, this is how I would picture them, except with Rarity being black/dark skinned, but it actually looks pretty darn good on her.I can just imagine her walking down a shopping district and being all fashionable xD
